My reflection of the Tasks

So much to look back on, so little time.

Upon looking back at my previous tasks I see that I lack in having consistent creativity. My creativity is something that comes and goes in phases and in addition to this I do not practice ways of being more creative. The weathervane exercise did not just reveal this as a weak point of me as a designer but has influenced me into taking more additional practices for boosting creativity. It is something I have neglected, and I've paid the price in the long term. It'll be my job now to fix my mistake and work towards a greater designs.

Documenting myself for a day has shown that my research practices could improve overall compared to what used to be a more refined I would follow. It's not a question of if I can do better, It's a question of when. I've done it before; there is nothing stopping me from doing it again but better.

The survey shows not just my shortsightedness but my inability to plan for a long-term solution to my research problems. At any moment I could have rewritten the questions for a better result and asked more people. I did not though. I'm sure that for a fact I will have to collect data in a similar position in the future and when that day comes I'll be prepared.

Watching the documentary showed me that it is possible to not just work your passion without burning out quickly. But the importance of the environment you do it in, the people you're around and how you treat them. To be a productive and effective designer or maker, you must work with those around you, but to encourage a healthy social life to allow yourself a way to work in a manner that will push you towards improving yourself and by proxy your skills and actions. In more ways that are listable, working on yourself is by extension working on the abilities you foster.

Working with ChatGPT showed me that people panic too quickly with such models of ai. The fact that it cannot do the job of an underpaid programmer is a part of showing its inability to logically complete tasks. As a human, our work will always be valued for what it is. People will go to the ends of the earth for products or things that are “genuine”. The day ai is truly mas adopted, is the day every one of my skills will matter more than ever. My ability to make and design will push not just a monetary value but a more sentimental value in my ability to stand on my own merits, skills and talents. Because people will always want something that's the “real deal”
